URGENT: Trump Confirms CIA Conducting Covert Operations in Venezuela Amid Rising Tensions

BREAKING NEWS President Donald Trump has confirmed that the CIA is conducting covert operations inside Venezuela, amid rising tensions between the two countries. According to sources, Trump authorized the CIA to take action in Venezuela for two reasons: the country's prisons have been emptied of their most violent inmates, and the US wants to prevent them from spreading chaos in the region. The operation is part of a broader effort to counter what the US sees as growing threats from Venezuela. The development comes after recent reports that US forces have destroyed at least five boats carrying alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean, killing 27 people. Four of those vessels originated from Venezuela. Trump made the announcement during an event in the Oval Office on Wednesday, without providing further details about the scope or nature of the covert operations. This move marks a significant escalation in US involvement in Venezuelan affairs and raises concerns about potential military intervention. Developing Story This is a developing story.
